Billed as celebrating the gaming industry's greatest minds, this is the second time Shannon has been selected to be part of this distinguished group, an achievement that extends her growing list of accolades, including being named as one of iGaming Business's Most Influential Women in Gaming (2019) and receiving the prestigious NASPL Powers Award in 2017.
With over a decade of iLottery and digital engagement experience, Shannon is considered a trailblazer and thought leader in the lottery space.
